not OneCoin

SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 4 –
All
politics is
local, the old
saw goes. On
March 4, 2023,
New York City
Mayor Eric
Adams donned a
Bulgarian flag
by the Wall
Street Bull in
lower
Manhattan as
the Bulgarian
flag was
raised, next
to the Stars
and
Stripes.
Adams
mentioned the
war in
Ukraine, and
took selfies
with some of
those in
attendance
while his car
4 by 4 waited
on the other
side of
Broadway.
Earlier, an
Orthodox
priest had
spoken, in the
Bulgarian and
English, and
the Master of
Ceremonies,
noted that in
2007 as well
the flag was
raised "here
on Wall
Street." There
was no mention
of
Bugarian-born
FBI Top Ten
suspect Ruja
Ignatova, of
the once Sofia
based OneCoin
crypto-currency
scam. Inner
City Press
which covers
OneCoin in
Federal court
on Foley
Square, and
the failure on
Ukraine of the
United Nations
in Turtle Bay,
filmed the
raising of the
flags.
In a parallel
world, US
Secretary of
State Antony
Blinken said
in a statement
"This is a
special year,
as we mark the
120th
anniversary of
diplomatic
relations
between
Bulgaria and
the United
States. Over
the years, our
friendship has
grown into a
multi-faceted
partnership.
As friends,
partners, and
NATO Allies,
we take pride
in our shared
values as we
work together
to ensure
peace,
security, and
prosperity for
the people of
our countries.
Know that we
stand with you
and your
neighbors as
we confront
the hardships
brought about
by Russia’s
unprovoked war
against
Ukraine."

is local - and
